Private Tuition 1-2-1 Coaching









Private Tuition 1-2-1 Coaching
A bespoke, full day of 121 coaching to suit your specific paddling needs.
There are currently no dates scheduled for this event. Please telephone 01473 - 375 026 for available dates for this event.
Private kayak lessons & coaching tuition for a full day based on the specific needs of the student. The ratio is 1:1 with the coach's full attention for the full day based on the student's exact needs. Your assigned coach will build your coaching session plan based on your brief of development needs. This is then emailed to you for your input before being finalised for the agreed date of the training.
At the completion of your day, the student and coach have a debriefing session where they revisit the coaching session plan to discuss what has and hasn't been completed and the next steps to continue your development, usually more paddling to cement the new skills learned.
The day can be as intensive as the student needs and launch venues will depend on the specific needs of the guest.
COVID 19 - All of our courses now teach our newly developed 'Socially Distanced Assisted Recovery' approved for use in deep, tidal, and non-tidal waters!
Please Note: This is a tailored one-to-one coaching day and dates are specific to individual guests so please contact our office on 01473 - 375 026 to arrange your preferred date. Be advised that weekends are usually booked well in advance so either place your booking well in advance or select a week date wherever possible. Alternatively, please email your preference and we’ll try to accommodate it.

Having waited patiently for quite some time due to covid restrictions I finally got out on the water with Kurt. I had never been out in conditions we had so for me it was perfect. Kurt had a good talk with me going over all my equipment and getting to know exactly what my needs were. It's not just about paddling but everything involved & everyone & everything going on around you at all times. Kurt made this very clear to me, then we discussed our plan of action, and off we went with Kurt keeping a close eye on me (which gave me great confidence especially when the sea got really rough and the waves were breaking on me). I was very nervous, in fact, a little scared but the fact that Kurt allowed me to be in the conditions & was always close by, made me feel confident & made it so much more enjoyable. The best time I've ever had in my kayak so far, I have so much to learn, and Kurt for me is for sure the right person to be on the water with at any time. I absolutely loved it, it was not easy paddling but the sea is not always like glass and I got everything I could have wanted out of my day and I am now not so nervous when the chop picks up. We finished up with Kurt recovering me, then I recovered Kurt (he obviously fell out of his yak on purpose). Thanks, Kurt, I am still telling my friends what it feels like to brace yourself when a wave is trying to tip you over.
